Secure your prized possessions against theft by using the Ghost Immobiliser. It's discreet and doesn't require additional key fobs.

The device utilizes buttons on your vehicle (steering wheel doors, door panels, and the centre console) to create a unique, changeable pin code sequence up to 20 presses. This then authorizes the startup of your vehicle.

Simple PIN code Change Process

With the growing rate of vehicle theft, a lot of owners are looking to upgrade their security. There are a variety of security products that are available for sale that range from tracking systems to alarms and immobilisers. Not all of them are equally effective at protecting your car. A tracking system may help you locate your car if it is stolen, but it will not prevent the crime. An immobiliser, on the contrary is exactly what says on the tin: it shuts down your car's engine to prevent it from being started. The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced options available on the market, making it virtually impossible for thieves to steal your vehicle.

This can be done by using the window, heater or indicator stalk buttons. Additionally option, there is an app on mobile that acts as an emergency PIN code override and allows the driver to operate the car without the button sequence. This is a great option when you wish to donate your car to valet parking or servicing. The immobiliser remains in operation.

The Ghost is an innovative and unique device that operates with the buttons of your vehicle instead of as a separate unit. It is not only an effective deterrent to vehicle theft, but it can be used to secure any future vehicles you own. This makes it a better investment than a traditional wheel lock.

Small device that is weatherproof

The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is an advanced security device that shields your vehicle from key hacking and cloning. It also prevents ECU swapping. It is a small weatherproof device that communicates with the ECU of your vehicle directly over the CAN bus, causing it to shut down the motor. It can be installed in the vehicle without additional wiring, and has been thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility with all vehicles. It is also indestructible to jamming devices, which is a common technique used by thieves to bypass the immobilisers in place.

The advantage of using CAN data is that it operates silently compared to traditional systems. It's not detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technologies and is also undetectable by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch Ghost doesn't use LED indicators but instead utilizes buttons in your vehicle, like the steering wheel, the centre console, or door panels, to create a an unique sequence of disarming. This sequence can be extended 20 presses to provide additional security. The iPhone app is limited to one connection, with the Ghost's unique pairing code. the Ghost. All communication between the two devices is secured.

The Ghost stops car thieves from adding a new ignition key or replacing the ECU in order to bypass the immobiliser. The engine can only be started when a valid PIN code is entered. It can also be put in valet/service mode to allow for temporary operation (with set parameters such as 30mph speed limit) so that you can hand your car over to a valet service or to be serviced without needing to enter a PIN.

Every vehicle is tested

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket immobiliser for CAN bus that is able to be connected to the wiring of your vehicle and connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device intercepts electronic signals to disable your car's system from performing its normal start-up routine until you input a custom passcode. The system can be activated or deactivated using your own smartphone application without the need for wires.

Standard factory immobilisers in automobiles function through a transponder built into the key that sends a signal to the ECU. The car will start if the correct code is sent. However, if a transponder from another vehicle is used instead, the immobiliser will not recognize it. This allows the vehicle be stolen and started. A South African company that is at the forefront of vehicle safety systems technology developed the Ghost immobiliser. It shields your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and even key theft. The only way that a burglar could steal your vehicle is physically towing it away, and even then they would not be allowed to drive it.

Ghost uses buttons on your vehicle, such as the indicator stalk, the steering wheel, as well as the doors, to generate unique PIN codes which must be entered in order to use your car. It does this without additional hardware, like key fobs. It can take up to 20 presses. It is also unrecognizable to diagnostics equipment and does not transmit radio frequency signals, which means thieves are unable to use sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology to determine if the security system has been installed.

Contrary to physical anti-theft devices such as clamps or wheel locks Ghost is hidden within the vehicle to ensure that it can't be disabled or removed by thieves. It is even more difficult to get rid of than a car alarm, which requires disarming with an action sequence. This makes it an excellent complement to a GPS tracker, which can help locate your car after it has been taken.

Override of emergency PIN code

You don't have to look far on social media to find stories or videos about cars that have been stolen using the most advanced technology tools. This includes key-cloning devices as well as hacking tools that allow thieves to start the car without your original keys.

The Ghost immobiliser was designed to stop this and offer an additional layer of security to prevent your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It is created by creating a unique pin code push sequence using your buttons on the steering wheel, door panel and the center console. The unique pin code is entered in conjunction with the original key fob to prevent the engine from beginning. The unique override pin can be found on a black plastic card that you will receive after the installation. It is easy to remember since there are no LED indicators.

The device is hidden within the vehicle's wiring and does not emit radio signals. Therefore, it cannot be detected using diagnostic software that can tell the type of security system you have installed. This makes it a great alternative to a tracking device.

Unlike most other security systems that use a relay in the engine bay these CANBUS Immobilisers communicate with the vehicle's ECU and BCM via CAN data bus (brand dependant). This allows them to block the vehicle completely by sending an electronic block to the ECU and engine.

They can also be linked to a separate analogue alarm immobiliser or tracker. This should be decided prior to installation. They are also service/valet mode compatible and are a great alternative to a tracker if you are you have your car checked for an electrical fault at the dealer.

Service/Valet Mode

In recent times, there has been an increase in vehicles being stolen with the owners' keys.

It communicates directly to your cars ECU (Engine Control Unit) through the CAN data circuit. It is completely silent as it does not use radio frequencies or key fobs. This means that it can't be detected by diagnostics or other car hacking devices. It also protects against adding the key to a new one or replacing the ECU to bypass the system as only the correct PIN code can allow the engine to start.

The device is hidden inside your car and can be accessed by existing buttons on your steering wheel, centre console and door panels. Before you can begin your car, you must enter a unique and reversible PIN number that is up to 20 numbers.

This is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser to be designed to stop your car from being started or driven away if a PIN code isn't entered before. If you are driving away with the device arming the indicator will flash on your dashboard that will flash continuously for around 300m. Entering your PIN code will deactivate the anti-hijack. Your car ghost immobiliser will continue to function just as normal. If you do not enter your PIN at this point the indicator will continue to flash and require a new pin code every time you try to start your vehicle.
